  • Abstract:
  • Blockchain technology offers transformative potential for enhancing e-governance in India by promoting transparency, security, and efficiency in public service delivery. This paper examines the application of blockchain in various domains, including land records management, digital identity verification, public procurement, voting systems, and welfare schemes. By creating immutable and decentralized records, blockchain can significantly reduce corruption, streamline processes, and foster trust between government entities and citizens. However, successful implementation faces challenges such as inadequate technological infrastructure, the need for a robust regulatory framework, public awareness, and interoperability with existing systems. This study highlights case examples, such as the Telangana blockchain initiative for land registration, illustrating practical applications. Ultimately, the paper advocates for a collaborative approach involving government, private sectors, and civil society to harness blockchain’s capabilities in reshaping India’s governance landscape. Through strategic investment and educational initiatives, India can leverage blockchain technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its governance systems, paving the way for a more transparent and accountable government.
